Sherry: How awkward!

Not to mention Shirley, even the imperial concubines felt awkward.

Since we just met, I don't even know where to begin in offering my support.

The young consort, Dong'e, suddenly smiled and said, "This servant is not very knowledgeable, but I noticed that even though Her Majesty the Empress wears ordinary silver ornaments, she looks elegant and dignified in them. This servant couldn't bear to look away..."

This Lady Dong'e has no relation to the later Consort Dong'e; she was the birth mother of the second prince, Fuquan.

Sydney: Professional! But it's still so awkward. What idea do you have?

Sherry carefully recalled the passage of time, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"Ahem, stop joking! Since you like it, I won't be stingy and will offer a few prizes! But the rules have to be as I say."

Before the words were even finished, the beauties perked up their ears.

After all, they were incredibly bored.

Those with children can also spend time holding their kids.

Those without children can only constantly criticize and ridicule each other, speaking sarcastically to each other's faces and gossiping behind each other's backs.

What else can I do? I'm too idle.

"I also want to get to know my sisters better, so let's hold a—well, a blessing banquet!" Sherry thought for a moment, the name was really easy to understand.

This is also to prepare for what's to come!

If she remembered correctly, on the eighth day of the sixth month of the eleventh year of the Shunzhi reign (July 21, 1654), a major earthquake struck Qinzhou (present-day Tianshui, Gansu).

The earthquake caused widespread damage to city walls, collapse of buildings, and casualties.

When the time comes, who will dare to criticize her for her prayers and fundraising efforts?!

Yes, that emperor.

Sherry was overjoyed to have come up with such a perfect idea.

She is so visionary, shrewd, and talented...

Tus, who was serving her, looked completely bewildered; he had never heard the princess mention it before.

She simply remained a quiet wallflower, knowing that her master would eventually tell her.

The young ladies were delighted to hear that a banquet was being held.

His gaze was fixed intently on Sherry.

"My sisters, you are welcome to showcase any talents you may have. We invite the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to provide their comments!"

Unsurprisingly, the beauties were even happier.

"Your Majesty, what should we do? All I know how to do is ride horses, shoot arrows, and wrestle!"

Ag was getting a little anxious.

After all, this is a good opportunity to show her face, and she also wants to have a child.

"Then let's have wrestling! You find an opponent! Horse riding and archery are next; let's have the banquet first!"

Sherry thought horseback riding wasn't a bad idea; they could even play polo.

Let's enrich everyone's lives!

Ag was pleased and began selecting women from among the several Mongolian concubines.

"Well, all this servant knows is how to train dogs and play with them, this..." A Han concubine couldn't help but mutter, but because her talent was so unique, everyone stopped talking excitedly.

Then, without prior arrangement, they all looked at her.

The Han concubine had a relatively low status, but she was quite beautiful, and now she was blushing furiously as everyone stared at her.

“Sure, doing something simple to the extreme is anything but simple!” Sherry said first, making the girls even more excited.

"Me! Me! Me! I can shoot birds!"

"I can swim!"

"I can weave small animals out of straw."

"I can sing!"

"I know martial arts!"

"I can dance and play the piano!"

"I can cook!"

"..."

Sherry watched with delight as they eagerly signed up.

Then I thought about praying for blessings.

Whose treasures were they plundering? The emperor's, of course.

She will reward the concubines with a portion of their performances.

As for praying for blessings, think about that magnitude 8 earthquake, so put some effort into it!

An empress leading her consorts in a prayer for blessings—that's enough.

She can simply draw a talisman and send it to the mother and child in a dream, which should prevent the situation from escalating.

After all, the aftershocks from that earthquake lasted for more than a year.

According to the "Veritable Records of Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty".

The city walls and palaces of Qinzhou collapsed completely, 3,672 houses collapsed, and countless kilns and villages were destroyed by the earthquake.

A landslide occurred in Mumenli, causing the soil to sink hundreds of feet, burying villages for nearly ten miles and covering thousands of households.

The two mountains of Luojiabao and Qishiyu merge into one place, blocking the river and forming a pool (i.e., a barrier lake).

The Yuanzhu Temple in Lüjiapo collapsed;

The Fuqiang Mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, crushing houses.

More than 40 prefectures and counties in the province, including Lixian, Xihe, Qin'an, Ningyuan, Tongwei, Jingning, Chengxian, Jiezhou, Anding, Huanxian, Wenxian, Lintaofu, Lanzhou, Baoji, Ningqiang, and Meixian, were damaged, and the damage spread to more than 90 prefectures and counties in Shanxi, Sichuan, Henan, and even Zhili, resulting in the deaths of more than 3,100 people.

The concubines began their preparations.

The old woman paced back and forth with some concern.

Sherry wasn't worried at all; at most, he'd find a reason to keep her at home.

Or should we hold a grudge and plan revenge later?

Sherry ignored all that and stayed in the study.

Slowly recall the talismans in the cheap master's notes.

"A great, great, great demon!"

A stammering sound came from the air, and Sherry snapped back to reality.

Sydney: Emma, ​​where's the person who made the wish? What was their wish?

System: I...I don't know either, sob sob sob—I'm still...staying where you were undergoing your tribulation!

Sherry: ⊙▽⊙

Sherry immediately calmed down and her soul entered the secret realm.

They gazed at the system from afar across the grove of trees.

System: Waaaaaah, I've been terribly wronged by that great demon! My dad can't find me anymore, waaaaah...

Sherry watched as the system cat would occasionally peek out and look around, then shrink back in fear and start to cry.

Sherry: Missing Dad?
